Nato style military jerry cans

Sounds like the PA cans are the best bet then. Better would be a Long Ranger tank or have someone weld one up for you. I know there is a guy out here in Abby who makes up aluminum WVO/VO tanks for a friend who does conversions.

I too would be in the market for a bigger tank or a second tank where the factory spare tire was.

Not sure how air enters the can to aid in flow?
The proper spout has a baffle to allow air in (and sometimes fuel out) but at least with air entering, the fuel flows fast. With the above system it looks like the fuel would be doing a lot of chugging.
Never tried it or read reviews, just my .05

I guessing you don't have a scepter ?
that is why these cans aren't aloud in the US ,
they vent into the air through a small breather/vent hole
check pic below .

I use a metal spout made for the old US fuel cans. The ID on the sceptre is exactly the same as the old metal cans were. Found the spout for $10, works great .

Actually I have a couple of Scepter cans, I drive a gasser you know. I never inspected the can, all makes sense now

Found these jerry cans. I have been looking for some metal ones. I'm probably going to go there on the weekend and take a look at them.

If you buy them at DS Tactical, ask for the "CGN Discount"...they will give you 10% off just like they do for LE, etc.

The cans at DS Tactical seem reasonable enough....but they make up for that in the price of the spouts

Scepter was founded in 1949, and developed “Scepterene” a resin that is impervious to gasoline and began making fuel cans in the sixties. In the mid 80’s, Scepter designed a three handled polyethylene fuel can derived from the original 20 Liter"Jerry-Can" designed by the German army during WWII for use in the blitzkrieg of Europe. This can proved itself to be a vast improvement over the previous metal cans. These new cans were tested, and were quickly accepted as the new fuel can standard for Canadian Military Forces converting previous requirements from metal to plastic cans. In the 1990s, the US Military, also tested and adopted the Scepter fuel can as their new standard.
In military live fire tests, these fuel cans were shown to melt and burn without exploding, making them significantly safer than their metal counterparts. They exceed United Nations Transportation of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations. Scepter's MFC cans are built to exacting U.S. Military specifications (MIL-spec). Rugged in design, Scepter’s MFC’s are built using high molecular weight, high density polyethylene featuring seamless all-plastic construction. They are tough, lightweight, permanently colored and will never rust. Scepter Military Fuel Cans are perfect for overland use with a weight of only 5-7 pounds, measuring at 18 1/2" high; 14" wide; 6 1/2” deep. Using a seamless injection molding, the Scepter MFC’s can withstand the weight of a vehicle, and still be suitable for continued use. ( From Expo Portal site)

Demo crush test - try that with a metal gerry can.
